T Levels are a two-year, career-focused qualification, developed with employers, and equivalent to three A Levels. Students spend 80% of their time in the classroom and 20% (around 45 days) in a real workplace — that’s where you come in.
By hosting a student for an industry placement, you’re not just giving them valuable experience — you’re giving your business fresh thinking, new energy, and the chance to shape future talent.
When you host a T Level student, your business benefits through:
And best of all, our dedicated Work Placement Team supports you every step of the way — from planning the placement to ensuring everything runs smoothly.
A T Level industry placement is a structured opportunity for a student to:
Placements can be flexible — spread out over weeks or completed in blocks — depending on what suits your business best.
| Feature | T Levels | Apprenticeships |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 2 years with 45-day work placement | 1–4 years (full-time paid employment) |
| Time in workplace | ~20% (unpaid) | ~80% (paid) |
| Time in classroom | ~80% | ~20% |
| Best for | Students still in full-time education | Young people ready to work full time |
T Level students are prepared in advance with employability skills training, so they arrive work-ready and motivated.
Our team will work with you to design a placement that suits your business and aligns with your goals. We’ll also help with paperwork, planning, and any challenges that come up along the way.
No — there is no legal requirement to pay a T Level student, as this is part of their course. That said, some employers choose to offer expenses or financial support — it’s completely up to you.
We may also be able to support with essential upfront costs like DBS checks, PPE, or specialist tools.
When you offer a T Level placement, you’re not just filling a temporary role — you’re investing in the future of your industry, your community, and your business.
